TWO TAPPED TO LEAD LIVE NATION FLORIDA

Live Nation has put Brittany Flores and Neil Jacobsen in charge of two Florida operations, giving Flores the Miami territory and tapping Jacobsen to handle Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando and the Florida Panhandle.

Besides being President of Tampa/Orlando–U.S. Concerts, Jacobsen will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer of Florida, and will oversee the firm’s development opportunities and long-term business planning throughout the state.

As President of Miami–U.S. Concerts, Flores will oversee the booking, marketing, and business operations for Live Nation in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Jacksonville.

Both will report directly to Bob Roux, President of U.S. Concerts at Live Nation. Currently based in Boca Raton, two new Live Nation offices will be opening in Miami and Tampa/St. Petersburg next year.

“As the market leader, we’ve seen incredible growth in Florida over the past several years,” Roux said. “With Brittany and Neil at the helm, we are positioned to maximize the opportunities across this key region and bring more live music to Florida than ever before.”

Flores joined Live Nation in 2012, managing booking and programming for all venues within the U.S. Concerts portfolio in Florida. In 2017, she played an integral role in opening Daily’s Place Boutique in Jacksonville.

Jacobsen has been with Live Nation and the company’s predecessors for over four decades, moving to head Live Nation’s Florida concert businesses in 2007.
